Some stuff to think about...

So I was checking out some posts on Facebook the other day and I saw that my Niece had started a blog and was asking for comments. I love reading blogs so I clicked on the link to check it out. I read the whole first post and was in the middle of agreeing with the content when I saw a logo on the picture she had attached from peta.....

Her writing was about not leaving your pets behind during an emergency. I agree that if you have taken on the responsibility of becoming a pet owner that you are then responsible for the health and safety of the animal as you are any family member. Leaving them behind and in harms way is a pretty crappy move. The content of the posting was not what I had an issue with. It was the peta poster. I hoped that this was an oversight and that she had attached the picture because of the cute little puppy dog that is the center of focus.

I am not one to make waves and argue with people just for the sake of arguing but when the topic is one that I feel strongly about I will argue until I am blue in the face. The problem is, most supporters of animal rights groups and anti hunting organizations cannot be swayed because they are brainwashed by false statements and lies.

I then noticed that my Sister in law was agreeing and I was like dayuuum I hope they are not following the dark side so I replied....

Here is the banter....Names have been left out to protect the innocent...hehe

  Troy Knoll I need to scold you two. PETA does not care about your puppies or kittens. They kill more dogs and cats than you could possibly imagine every year. So I agree with not abandoning them but please do not support one of Americas most radical terrorist organizations

Here is my point....This is perfectly innocent...but that is the problem. While I hate to give the crazies at peta or the hsus any credit they are good at trickery...

I mean when do you think of the Humane Society as bad??? You dont right??? and you shouldnt because they do a great service for animals in your local area.

Now add "of the United States" to the end of the Humane Society and we have a totally different animal. No pun intended.

Here is a small clip of information that can be easily found on the internet with little or no effort.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is a radical animal rights group that inaccurately portrays itself as a mainstream animal care organization. The words “humane society” may appear on its letterhead, but HSUS is not affiliated with your local animal shelter. Despite the omnipresent dogs and cats in its fundraising materials and television commercials, it’s not an organization that runs spay/neuter programs or takes in stray, neglected, and abused pets. And quite unlike the common image of animal protection agencies as cash-strapped organizations dedicated to animal welfare, HSUS has become the wealthiest animal rights organization on earth.

HSUS is big, rich, and powerful. While most local animal shelters are under-funded and unsung, HSUS has accumulated $162 million in assets and built a recognizable brand by capitalizing on the confusion its very name provokes. This misdirection results in an irony of which most animal lovers are unaware: HSUS raises enough money to finance animal shelters in every single state, with money to spare, yet it doesn’t operate a single one anywhere.

keeping its multi-national agenda going.

Instead, HSUS spends millions on programs that seek to economically cripple meat and dairy producers; eliminate the use of animals in biomedical research labs; phase out pet breeding, zoos, and circus animal acts; and demonize hunters as crazed lunatics. HSUS spends more than $5 million each year on travel expenses alone, just

HSUS president Wayne Pacelle described some of his goals in 2004 for The Washington Post: “We will see the end of wild animals in circus acts … [and we’re] phasing out animals used in research. Hunting? I think you will see a steady decline in numbers.” But Pacelle may have more ambitious anti-hunting goals. In 1991, while he was the National Director of the Fund for Animals, Pacelle told the Associated Press: “[I]f we could shut down all sport hunting in a moment, we would. Just like we would shut down all dog fighting, all cock fighting or all bull fighting.”

These folks have been linked to numerous terror organizations, fire bombings, and other acts of violence. All in the name of saving animals?

peta on the other hand while maybe not as radical, is forever seeking out celebs that are in the public eye to spread their propaganda... These celebs and other supporters may have no clue as most people dont, what the organization is up to. You have to admit that its a pretty good way to get their ridiculously skewed message out to the masses as celeb gossip is probably more looked at by young and or impressionable people in the US than the daily news. Hiding behind the cutesy little furballs they put on adds and naked celebs telling you not to wear fur when truth be told....they would rather see a human die than get the medicine they need because it was tested on a rat. Give me a break....Puppies and Kittens....peta is responsible for killing more puppies and kittens every year than you could possibly imagine.

Here are a few of my favorite (Scary) quotes from these whack Jobs....Stew on these for a while.....

Peta Quotes

Quotes that peta members have made.

Ingrid Newkirk President Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant. - Washington City Paper (December 20, 1985) There’s no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They’re all animals. - Washingtonian magazine (August 1, 1986) I openly hope that it [hoof-and-mouth disease] comes here. It will bring economic harm only for those who profit from giving people heart attacks and giving animals a concentration camp-like existence. It would be good for animals, good for human health and good for the environment. - ABC News interview (April 2, 2001) Six million people died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses. [emphasis added] - The Washington Post (November 13, 1983) Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it. - Vogue (September 1, 1989)

Alex Pacheco Co-Founder We feel that animals have the same rights as a retarded human child because they are equal mentally in terms of dependence on others. - The New York Times (January 14, 1989)

Bill Maher Endorser

If ten people in America died of mad cow disease, in the long run it would save probably millions of lives. Because people would stop eating meat. That’s not a catty thing to say, to say -- in the long run this is what I hope.
- Upon accepting the “Celebrity Animal Advocate of the Year award” at the “Animal Rights 2003” convention

Bruce Friedrich
Vegan Campaign Coordinator

If you can take Ronald McDonald and turn him into a psychotic, bloody butcher … that’s going to adversely affect McDonald’s’ stock price.
- “Animal Rights 2002” convention (July 2, 2002)


If we really believe that these animals do have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going to be, as a movement, blowing stuff up and smashing windows. For the record, I don’t do this stuff, but I do advocate it. I think it’s a great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be a great thing if all of these fast-food outlets, and these slaughterhouses, and these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it’s perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows, and everything else along the line. Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it. July 2, 2001

And perhaps the biggest terrorist of them all....

Rodney Coronado
Substantial grantee

Crimes of compassion that every animal advocate should support.
- Coronado’s description of two 1991 arsons at Oregon State University and the Northwest Farm Food Cooperative in Edmonds, Washington, as described in his 1995 Federal Sentencing Memorandum


Throughout the late ‘80s, me and a handful of friends just like you people here, we started to break windows, we started to slash tires, we started to rescue animals from factory farms and vivisection breeders, and we graduated to breaking into laboratories … As long as we emptied the labs of animals, they were still easily replaced. So that's when the ALF in this country, and my cell, started engaging in arson.
- SHAC rally, Edison, New Jersey (November 30, 2002)

A lot of people think that -- Oh my god, that’s going too far, you know. People can support bringing animals out of labs, but they can’t support arson. Well, I’m sorry. I’m not here to, to please people. I’m not here to win the support of people. I’m here to represent my animal relations who are suffering this very second. And I don’t care what anybody says about what I do to achieve their freedom.
- SHAC rally, Edison, New Jersey (November 30, 2002)


As a direct-action warrior, it made a lot of sense to me to attack institutions in the fur trade … We need to destroy them by any means necessary.
- "Conference on Organized Resistance," American University (January 26, 2003)

Do I need to go further???
